The Lead Care Transition Specialist serves as a crucial link between acute inpatient care and community support services within Adult Acute and Urgent Care Services.

This role is part of the supportive Enhanced Discharge Team / Integrated Patient Flow Team, supervised by a bed manager and clinician, ensuring daily operational support.

The Lead Care Transition Specialist can utilize various 'hot desk' facilities, promoting flexible working arrangements.

  • Assess potential delays in discharge processes.
  • Communicate anticipated outcomes from admissions with Care Coordinators and duty community teams.

In return, we offer:

  • Opportunities for leadership and management training.
  • A high-cost allowance supplement of 5% on top of the basic salary (subject to a maximum of £2,011 per annum).
  • A generous holiday entitlement of 27 days, increasing to 33 days (depending on NHS Trust service), plus bank holidays (pro rata where applicable).
  • Access to one of the UK's premier pension schemes.
  • Comprehensive health and wellbeing services.
  • Special leave provisions for family and personal matters.
  • NHS Car Lease Scheme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.

For registered social workers, this position includes a recruitment incentive of £3,500: £1,500 upon starting and £2,000 after one year of service.

We are among the select few mental health trusts to receive an overall 'Outstanding' rating from the Care Quality Commission. Our dedicated team of over 4,000 staff members provides health and social care for individuals facing mental health challenges, physical health issues, and learning disabilities across various regions, delivering services in both community and inpatient settings.
